Custom Tattoos in Glen Rose

Our Family Art Collective is a family-owned tattoo studio at 608 SW Big Bend Trail in Glen Rose, Texas. Our tattoo artists, Matt (tattooing for 19 years) and Anthony, draw every custom piece for the person who will wear it, whether that's a first small tattoo or a full sleeve. Clients drive in from Stephenville, Granbury, Cleburne and the Fort Worth area for the work.

Tattoo styles we do

Western & filigree

Longhorn skulls, horseshoes, daisies, barbed wire and filigree scrollwork, Texas through and through. Western pieces work on their own or build into a full western sleeve over a few sessions.

Black & grey and realism

Smooth shading for portraits, skulls, florals, animals and mythology, from a single forearm piece to a full Norse mythology sleeve. Black and grey ages well and suits detailed, realistic work.

Bold color

Saturated color that stays bright for years: roses, butterflies, animals, pet portraits and full color sleeves.

American traditional, neo-traditional & Japanese

Bold lines and solid color in the classic American style, neo-traditional pieces with more depth and detail, and Japanese-inspired work that can grow into larger sleeves and back pieces.

Fine line, script & small tattoos

Delicate linework, names, dates, lettering and small meaningful pieces. A first tattoo is a good fit for a walk-in, or text us the idea and we'll set a time.

Cover-ups, reworks & touch-ups

Bring the old tattoo to a free consultation. The artist looks at its size, darkness and placement and designs a new piece that works with it, or reworks and refreshes the original. Very dark or heavily saturated tattoos sometimes need a larger design to hide completely, and the artist will tell you honestly what's possible.

How getting a tattoo works

1. Send your idea. Call, text your idea and reference photos to (817) 559-8430, or stop by for a free consultation.
2. Design and quote. Your artist draws a custom design and gives you a quote before anything starts.
3. Tattoo day. Bring your photo ID, eat a real meal beforehand, and wear clothing that gives easy access to the placement.
4. Aftercare. Your artist wraps the tattoo and walks you through how to heal it.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Price depends on size, detail, placement and time. Small pieces start at a shop minimum, and larger work is quoted per piece or by the hour during your free consultation. You always get a quote before we start. Full sleeves are usually done over several sessions, so the time and cost are spread out.

Tattoo aftercare

Leave the wrap on for the time your artist recommends, wash gently with unscented soap and lukewarm water, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of unscented aftercare lotion. Avoid soaking, pools, lakes and direct sun for at least two weeks, and let any flaking come off on its own instead of picking it. Call or text the shop if you have questions while it heals.
